"Having the gastric sleeve has completely changed my life for the better. I have so much energy to do things. Before the surgery, I found myself just not having the energy to do anything and just being lazy all the time. It caused me to feel depressed about myself and everything else around me. I felt trapped. My whole life revolved around me obsessing about my weight; not being able to buy the clothes I want because I couldn’t find anything that fit, avoiding picture’s because I hated the way I looked. Now, I love taking pictures! It’s allowing me to create more memories with my family. I have so much energy throughout the day to accomplish things I want, and I’m just overall so much happier. It was the best decision I have ever made for myself and I would do it all over again."

My experience having the surgery in Thailand was amazing. Everything was very straightforward and a very smooth process from start to finish. Everyone spoke good English, and if there was every a problem, there was always someone to translate. The room was so big and so nice. I was very comfortable. And I got to have a little holiday and go to Phuket while I was there. So I was really able to experience parts of Thailand while I was there.
The nurses were great. They took such great care of me and my pain was always under control. I am a nurse myself, I did a lot of research before having my surgery in Thailand and I don’t regret my decision at all. Dr. Narong was the best. He was so nice and really helped me feel prepared for the surgery and answered all the my questions.
Any tips to manage to lose so much weight?
Now I am about 9 months post op and have lost about 45kg. I try to focus on making sure my small stomach gets as much of the good stuff as it can, like proteins. I also eat every few hours. I definitely let myself have a few bites of the good stuff here and there. The whole point of me getting this surgery was to not feel like I’m on a diet all the time. And I definitely don’t.
What would you tell people who still deciding on getting their surgery?
If you’re scared or on the fence of getting the surgery and can’t decide. I 100% can’t recommend it enough. You have to be willing to take the leap of faith in order to change your life. I was scared of if I would lose weight, or if it would work, or how I would adjust afterwards. I would not be as happy with myself as I am today if I wouldn’t have taken that leap of faith.
I have an amazing support system, and after I had this surgery, it was like a switch had flipped. I was finally making good decisions for myself and my future. You just have to be willing to take the leap of faith for yourself and for your own happiness.
